    "content": "rural areas, may have a very different experience from somebody having the same degree, but doing their practice in Tana River, Nyandarua or Homa Bay counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, in our country, we have not compelled our students who graduate with both medical degrees or diplomas, to have that experience and make sure that they do not get this idea that getting a medical degree entitles you to a white coat, stethoscope and working in urban centres or a good private health facility where you earn a lot of money. I think being a doctor or a health worker is like a calling; it is like being a teacher. Those who have been good teachers in the past and those who taught us in primary, intermediate and high schools, are those who were really devoted to the profession. They did not just join the profession for purposes of eking a good living. Of course, a good living is important, but it should not be the primary drive for somebody who chooses teaching as a profession. In that regard, it should also not be a drive for somebody who chooses health as a profession. It requires some calling, dedication and commitment to serving humanity. I commend Sen. Leshore for introducing this Motion. I call upon NACC to take this Motion very seriously and respond to the spirit of devolution by implementing the proposals that Sen. Leshore has asked for in this Motion. I beg to support."
